Every three seconds someone dies somewhere in the world in extreme poverty. Usually it’s a child and usually it’s from a preventable disease. In 1998, it was determined that for the very first time in human history, we have everything we need to end extreme poverty and hunger across the globe.
So if we know how to end the suffering, why aren’t we?
Every 3 Seconds is a full-length feature documentary film that will make a clear case that hunger and extreme poverty can and must be ended. It will also take a hard look at why we, as human beings, are choosing not to make it happen.
